Microsoft has slashed the price of its Xbox One gaming device in Britain, just
three months after it went on sale, as it tries to regain lost ground in the
“console wars”.

The American company’s device has been consistently outsold by Sony’s
PlayStation 4 since both went on sale in November. VGChartz, the gaming
industry site, says that 5.4 million PS4s have been sold worldwide, compared
to just 3.5 million Xbox Ones.

Sony’s early lead gives it a crucial advantage as millions of video game fans
decide which machine to buy, locking themselves into titles limited by their
preferred device
